Well this whole driver is a mess so I don't have any problem imagining
ways in which things can break. ;)

Yeah, please remove it. I doubt these runtime pm implementations have
gotten much review.

Note how several dwc3 glue drivers just do an unconditional get in
probe(), which means that these paths are probably never exercised at
all and effectively amounts to that pm_runtime_forbid() you are removing
here.

Probably there to tick off "runtime pm" on some internal project
manager's list of "features".

You should do it after disabling runtime pm.
